"This is an old recipe that I have had since the 70's. It is off one of those mail order recipe cards. (before the internet). You can cook the bacon in a microwave oven. (this wasn't around either). Because it is served cold it makes a great summer side dish. Enjoy!"

Oh, just YUM! I love that this can be made from ingredients I always have on hand, and that, along with the wonderful flavors, will make this recipe one that I will keep and make again and again. Serving it chilled was a welcome change. I admit that I used seasoned rice vinegar because we like a little sweetness, and I also used sweet onions. Thanks, Teresa, this is another keeper!

These were easy to make with ingredients I usually have at home. I liked the marinade. It was nice to have a marinade without sugar.

We loved, loved, loved this one!! This kind of salad was a staple when I was a child, but this was the first time I had it with bacon in it. Sooo good!! Thanks for sharing, I'll always make it this way now! Made for FYC game on FFF

Loved these! While I enjoy green bean salads they often get a pass from another family member. These didn't and I was surprised at how much they raved about these. Maybe bacon was the magic ingredient. LOL I made as directed except for adding a 1/4 t of red pepper flakes and will be making these again and again. Thank you for sharing a new favorite recipe!

Excellent cold bean dish! I made one small change by adding one clove of chopped garlic. Will make again.
